(SportsNetwork.com) - The Washington Wizards have won three straight and will
try to remain unbeaten on this current homestand Saturday night when they
welcome the Detroit Pistons to the Verizon Center.

Washington extended its winning streak to three with its second victory in a
week over the Chicago Bulls on Friday at home. This one went down to the wire
as the Bulls trailed by three with 10 seconds to go, but Nene blocked a Jimmy
Butler 3-pointer at the buzzer.

John Wall scored a game-high 23 points and dished out 11 assists to lead the
Wizards to a 96-93 win over the Bulls. He went 9-for-15 from the floor and
only committed four turnovers, three of which came in the first five minutes
of the game.

Also, Wall made one of the craziest shots this season.

Wall took the ball coast to coast before he was fouled hard by Mike Dunleavy
on the other end. As he went up for the layup, Dunleavy grabbed his arm and
pulled him to the floor. Wall, however, flipped the ball up near the rim and
got a friendly bounce off the backboard.

"I don't know how the heck it went in. I surprised myself," said Wall.

Bradley Beal and Martell Webster scored 14 points apiece and Marcin Gortat had
13 points, six rebounds and three blocks for the Wizards. Trevor Booker and
Nene added 12 and 10 points, respectively, for Washington, which also beat the
Bulls in Chicago on Monday.

The Wiz also face Philly and Boston on this homestand.

The Pistons saw their brief two-game winning streak evaporate on Friday night
with a disheartening, 110-89 setback to the Utah Jazz at The Palace of Auburn
Hills.

"We just didn't come out and compete," guard Rodney Stuckey said. "That's on
us tonight."

Stuckey had 21 points and six rebounds for the Pistons, who have dropped seven
of their last nine tilts. Kyle Singler managed 13 points, followed by 11 from
Brandon Jennings and a double-double out of Andre Drummond. The second-year
center finished with 10 points and 13 rebounds.
